Heart Hat

My fingers have been itching to knit again with the discovery of a few blogs full of knitting goodness.   My desire to knit has been rekindled!  Over the weekend I knit up this new heart hat, it is a gift for Hugo's little friend Amy.  Now I need to get busy and make a second hat, exactly the same mind you, for Amy's little sister Hannah.  Oh, and Hugo wants one with stars instead of hearts.  He tried this heart hat on for me for all of a whopping 2 seconds due to the fact that it was a "girl" hat.  Silly boy.  I love that he wants me to knit for him.

 Preparing to drive Hugo to his preschool in the morning involves warm clothing now.  Tights, socks and 8 shoes to be located, pants and leggings to be pulled up and over tushes, undershirts and sweaters to play hide and seek in.  We've even been wearing light jackets the past few weeks and I've pulled on my hat many a morning.  Hugo has hats, but he hasn't worn them to school yet.  The problem is, that the girls do not have hats yet.  Bad, bad momma I am!

A hat, especially a baby hat, takes no time to knit.  My problem has been, that I can't decide what I want their hats to look like.  Isn't that silly of me?!   My mind has been running the question of: Should I knit stocking caps or bonnets or tams for their wee precious heads?  And should I knit i-cord ties or a chin strap with a button closure, because little Miss Marlow doesn't like things on her head you know.  If she feels a headband up there, gone it is in two seconds.  She thinks it's the best game ever.  Sweet Sabine doesn't mind wearing something upon her head at all.  Thank you Sabine.

So, I've been knitting.  Slowly.  And I've decided that the answer is... a girl needs options.
